Machine learning interpretability in diabetes risk assessment: a SHAP analysis
No full textDiabetes continues to be a complicated and prevalent metabolic illness, providing a serious burden to public health. While machine learning approaches like extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) provide intriguing options for diabetes prediction, their 'black-box' nature typically limits clinical interpretability. To overcome this gap, our work applied SHapley Additive exPla-nations (SHAP) to give insights into the XGBoost model's predictions. The dataset utilized in this research comprised of 253,680 patients and contained 21 parameters, such as General Health Status, High Blood Pressure Status, Age, and Body Mass Index. After feature selection using Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), 15 important characteristics were discovered. In the test set, the XGBoost model obtained an accuracy of 86.6%, precision of 54.1%, recall of 17.0%, and an F1-score of 25.9% for the Original dataset. For the RFE dataset, the model displayed an accuracy of 86.6%, precision of 54.9%, recall of 16.5%, and an F1-score of 25.3%. SHAP analysis found that General Health Status, High Blood Pressure Status, Age, and Body Mass Index were the most important characteristics in both the Original and RFE datasets. This work provides as a platform for transparent and clinically applicable predictive modeling, assisting in early diabetes identification and preventive healthcare
Respiratory diseases prediction from a novel chaotic system
No full textPandemics can have a significant impact on international health systems. Researchers have found that there is a correlation between weather conditions and respiratory diseases. This paper focuses on the non-linear analysis of respiratory diseases and their relationship to weather conditions. Chaos events may appear random, but they may actually have underlying patterns. Edward Lorenz referred to this phenomenon in the context of weather conditions as the butterfly effect. This inspired us to define a chaotic system that could capture the properties of respiratory diseases. The chaotic analysis was performed and was related to the difference in the daily number of cases received from real data. Stability analysis was conducted to determine the stability of the system and it was found that the new chaotic system was unstable. Lyapunov exponent analysis was performed and found that the new chaotic system had Lyapunov exponents of (+, 0, -, -). A dynamic neural architecture for input-output modeling of nonlinear dynamic systems was developed to analyze the findings from the chaotic system and real data. A NARX network with inputs (maximum temperature, pressure, and humidity) and one output was used to to overcome any delay effects and analyze derived variables and real data (patients number). Upon solving the system equations, it was found that the correlation between the daily predicted number of patients and the solution of the new chaotic equation was 90.16%. In the future, this equation could be implemented in a real-time warning system for use by national health services
The life-works and art of Mustafa Balel
No full textMustafa Balel (1945- ) 1972'de Yeni Ortam'da başlayıp günümüze uzanan yazarlık hayatında toplumsal gerçekleri konu etmesi ve ayrıntıları sivriltmesi ile döneminin yazarlarından ayrılır. Sanat hayatı boyunca başta öykü olmak üzere roman, anlatı, gezi yazısı ve çocuk edebiyatı alanlarında eserler vermiştir. Balel, toplumdaki yapıyı eserlerinde okura sunmuştur. Bu bağlamda yazar, Türk toplumunun sanıldığı gibi ataerkil değil anaerkil bir yapıda olduğu görüşünü savunmaktadır. Bu durum eserlerinde baskın kadın tiplerini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Yazarlık hayatı boyunca hiçbir zaman realizmden kopmayan Balel, yaşamın kendisini eserlerine taşımıştır. Bunu yaparken de gerçekleri olduğu gibi söyleyen çocuk anlatıcılardan yararlanmıştır. Toplumdaki sosyoekonomik yapıya dayanan sınıf ayrımını eserlerinde vurgulayan yazar, toplumsal gerçekçi bir çizgiye sahiptir. Daha çok aile, şiddet, kadın hâkimiyeti, yalnızlık ve göç temalarını konu etmiştir. Ele aldığı toplumsal konulara paralel olarak dilde de halktan kopuk bir tutum izlemeyen Balel, daha çok halkın yöresel söyleminde yer edinen deyim ve atasözlerinden faydalanmıştır. Bu karakteristik özellikleri farklı edebî türlerde kaleme aldığı eserlerinin tamamında görülür.Mustafa Balel (1945- ) whose career as a novelist started with Yeni Ortam (New Circumstances) in 1972 and pursued up to now is distinguished from his contemporaries as depicted social realities and sharpened details. During his art career, he produced novels, stories, narration, itineraries and works in children?s literature. Balel has presented the social structure to readers. In this context, the author argues that Turkish society is not a patriarchal as supposed but matriarchal. This case has lead to dominant women characters in his works. Balel, who have always stuck to realism, reflected his own life in his works. While doing this, he made use of children narrators who tell the truth as it is. The author who emphasizes social stratification in his works which is based on socioeconomic structure follows a social realistic line. In his works, he mostly treated family, violence, women dominancy, loneliness and immigration. In parallel with social issues he handled, Balel used idioms and proverbs established in people?s local language and thus did not have a language style different from people. This characteristic is seen in all his works in different literature genres
The use of interactional metadiscourse : a comparison of articles on Turkish education and literature
No full textThis study aims to determine the use of interactional metadiscourse in articles from the domains of Turkish language and literature. The study employed a descriptive research model to examine 20 articles from the Mustafa Kemal University Journal of Social Sciences Institute (all articles were published between 2010 and 2015 and each has only a single author). Of these randomly selected articles, 10 were on Turkish language education and 10 were concerned with Turkish literature. Hyland and Tse's metadiscourse model was adopted to examine markers of interactional metadiscourse in all fundamental parts of these articles. For the evaluation of the obtained data, the content analysis technique and the Mann-Whitney U test were used to determine whether the interactional metadiscourse demonstrates any significant differences regarding the domains of Turkish language education and literature. Experts were consulted to ensure the reliability of the research. As a result, this study revealed that there is more use of interactional metadiscourse markers in the field of Turkish language education than in the field of literature, and this difference is significant, according to the Mann-Whitney U test. Further, it was found that hedges and boosters demonstrate a significant difference in studies on Turkish language education and literature; however, no significant difference in the uses of attitude markers, engagement markers, and self-mentions was observed.This study aims to determine the use of interactional metadiscourse in articles from the domains of Turkish language and literature.

Mustafa Kutlu Life-Art-Works
No full textMustafa Kutlu Türk Edebiyatının yaşayan önemli kalemlerinden birisidir. Yazdıklarıyla Türk hikâyeciliğine yeni bir soluk getirmiş, insanımızın sesi olmuş, yazın dünyasına önemli katkılarda bulunmuştur. Yarım asırdır eserler veren Kutlu, eserleriyle adeta yaşadığı toplumun panoramasını çizmiştir. Eserlerinin bir ayağı geçmişte, bir ayağı günümüzdedir. Mustafa Kutlu, geçmişi hâl diliyle günümüze taşımış bir yazardır. Eserlerinde seçtiği konular; bu konuları bize sunarken kullandığı dil tamamıyla yerli ve millidir. Her eserinde bizi anlatır, her eseri bizdendir. Bizim insanımızı, bizim türkülerimizi, bizim geleneklerimizi, bizim mimarimizi, bizim kültürümüzü sunar bizlere, kitaplarında hep kendimizi buluruz. Kutlu’nun her cümlesi buram buram Anadolu kokar. Kutlu, bu topraklarda ondan bu kadar çok sevilmiş, bu kadar çok okunmaktadır.
Mustafa Kutlu nevi şahsına münhasır bir şahıstır. Hâlâ hikâye yazıyor, hâlâ kendisinin de “uzun hikâye”si devam ediyor. Onun bu kadar verimli bir yazı hayatı nasıl oluyor, nelerden besleniyor, kimlerden etkilendi, eserlerini verirken amacı ne, neyi düşünerek yazıyor bu metinleri? Bu ve daha birçok soruya cevap bulacağız bu çalışmamızda.
Bu çalışma Mustafa Kutlu’nun hayatını, sanatını, eserlerini detaylı olarak incelediğimiz monografik bir çalışmadır. Mustafa Kutlu ile ilgili olarak bugüne kadar yapılan çalışmalarda genellikle yazarın sadece belirli yönleri ele alınarak, onlar üzerinde durulmuştur. Bunlar da onun eserlerinden yola çıkılarak yapılmış olan analizlerdir. Mustafa Kutlu hakkında, toplu olarak, onun her yönünü kapsayan bütüncül bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. Biz burada Mustafa Kutlu’yu tüm hayatından hikâyeciliğine, denemeciliğinden dergiciliğine kadar tüm yönleriyle bir bütün olarak ele aldık. Türk edebiyatının son yarım asırdır içerisinde hep var olan, hemen hemen her yıl bir eseriyle yayın dünyasına katkıda bulunan bu kutlu insanın önce hayatını kaleme alıp, sonrasında bu hayat içerisinde ortaya koyduğu sanatı, fikirleri ve eserlerinden yola çıkarak tezimizi şekillendirdik. Yazar ile görüşüp birinci kaynaktan yani kendinden hayat hikâyesini dinleyip, eserleri ve sanatı ile de bilgi aldıktan sonra tezimizde de bunları değerlendirdik.
Çalışmamız üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölümde Mustafa Kutlu’nun hayatı, ikinci bölümde yazarın bütün eserlerinin incelenmesi ve genel bir değerlendirmesi yer alır. Üçüncü bölüm Kutlu’nun sanat ve edebiyat görüşlerini kapsamaktadır. Ekler bölümünde ise Mustafa Kutlu ile yaptığımız görüşme “Kendi Anlatımı İle Mustafa Kutlu’nun Hayatı” ve “Arkadaşlarının Gözünden Mustafa Kutlu” başlıkları altında yer almaktadır.
Türk Edebiyatı ve sanatının son elli yılında eserleriyle mühim bir yeri olduğunu düşündüğümüz Mustafa Kutlu üzerine hazırlanan bu çalışmanın yazarla ilgili bir boşluğu dolduracağını umuyoruz.Mustafa Kutlu is one of the most prominent living author in Turkish literature. With his writings, he has brought a new breath to Turkish storytelling, becoming the voice of our people and making significant contributions to the literary world. Kutlu, who has been producing works for half a century, has drawn a panorama of the society he lives in with his works. His works have one foot in the past and one foot in the present. Mustafa Kutlu is a writer who has carried the past to the present with the language of the state. The subjects he chooses in his works, and the language he uses to present these subjects to us, are entirely local and national. In each of his works, he reflects us; each work belongs to us. He presents our people, our folk songs, our traditions, our architecture, and our culture, and we always find ourselves in his books. Every sentence of Kutlu smells of Anatolia. That is why Kutlu is so beloved and widely read in these lands. Mustafa Kutlu is a unique character. He is still writing stories; his “long story” continues. How does he lead such a productive writing life? What nourishes him? Who has influenced him? What is his aim in writing these texts? What does he consider while writing them? We will find answers to these and many more questions in this study.
This study is a monographic study covering Mustafa Kutlu's life, art, and works. In the studies conducted about him so far, only certain aspects of the author have been discussed and emphasized. These are analyses based on his works. There has not been a holistic study on Mustafa Kutlu covering all aspects of him. Here, we have dealt with Mustafa Kutlu as a whole, with all his aspects from his life to his storytelling, from his essay writing to his magazine publishing. We first penned down the life of this blessed person who has always existed in Turkish literature for the last half century and contributed to the publishing world with a work almost every year. Then we shaped our thesis based on his art, ideas, and works that he put forward in this life. After interviewing the author and listening to his life story first-hand, and gathering information about his works and art, we evaluated them in our thesis.
Our study consists of three parts. The first part is the life of the author; the second part is the examination and general evaluation of all of Mustafa Kutlu's works. The third part covers the author's views on art and literature. In the appendices section, the interview we conducted with Mustafa Kutlu is presented under the titles "Mustafa Kutlu's Life with His Own Words" and "Mustafa Kutlu through the Eyes of His Friends. "
We hope that this study, prepared on Mustafa Kutlu, whom we consider to have an important place in Turkish literature and art over the past fifty years, will fill a gap regarding the author
Demystifying fractional order chaotic respiratory disease system with XAI
No full textThe current study delves into the intricate association between meteorological conditions and the incidence of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs), leveraging the advanced capabilities of the CatBoost machine learning algorithm in conjunction with a Fractional Order Chaotic System and cutting-edge Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques. By analyzing comprehensive meteorological and health data collected from the Pamukova District (Marmara Region, Turkey), this research paper employs the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values to elucidate the model’s predictions, emphasizing the consequential effects of mean temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure over a 5-day period on the occurrence of URTIs [1, 2]. The findings obtained by the related analyses demonstrate that mean temperature holds a dominant influence on URTI predictions, with SHAP values peaking at 5.6, thus underscoring its critical role as a predictive marker for increased URTI cases. Similarly, the mean humidity is identified as a pivotal factor, manifesting a maximum SHAP value of 3.2, which signifies its substantial impact on the prevalence of URTIs. In contrast, mean pressure exhibits a wide array of SHAP values, indicating a multifaceted and somewhat indirect correlation with URTI incidences [3].Integral to our approach is the incorporation of a fractional-order system that meticulously accounts for the history of data, thereby offering a nuanced understanding of the temporal dynamics influencing URTI trends. This aspect of our methodology not only enriches the predictive model with a deeper temporal context but also aligns with the foundational principles of chaotic systems as described byLorenz, enhancing the robustness and accuracy of our predictions [1].The predictive prowess of our model is evidenced by an accuracy rate of 75.21%, complemented by precision and recall metrics of 0.75 and 0.5217, respectively. Such metrics highlight the feasibility and effectiveness of our integrated approach in forecasting URTI occurrences with considerable reliability.The implications of our study are far-reaching for the domain of public health, accentuating the imperative to integrate extended weather data within disease prediction frameworks and to inform efficient and timely targeted preventive measures and strategies
A New Cause of Male Infertility After Cisplatin Exposure: The Effect of Cisplatin on Y Chromosomes
No full textOBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of cisplatin (CP) on the testes-specific protein, Y-linked (TSPY) gene situated on the Y chromosome. METHODS The control group consisted of 10 rats. Group IIA consisted of 15 rats that underwent orchiectomy and received three cycles of 1 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, or 5 mg/kg CP. Group IIB was,exposed to the same doses of three cycles of chemotherapy but was examined after 3 months of chemotherapy. Group III was exposed to the same doses of chemotherapy without initial orchiectomy. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for TSPY messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and immunohistochemical staining for histone 213 were per-formed on the testes. Results were evaluated by one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS Compared with the controls, the expression of TSPY mRNA in Group IIA after exposure to 1 mg/kg CP did not change; however, MRNA levels after exposure to 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg CP were decreased by 40% and 78%, respectively. In Group III after exposure to the same doses of CP, mRNA levels decreased by 30%, 87.5%, and 88%, respectively. The expression of TSPY was at normal levels except in rats that received 5 mg/kg CP in Group IIB. Immunohistochemical study revealed that histone 213 expression was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. None of the rats from any of the groups died during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Decreased TSPY expression after CP exposure might be another mechanism for male infertility. UROLOGY 73: 1145-1149, 2009. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc
